Eden Holan`s Quartet

Eden's music is a multicultural Jazz fusion and a mirror to her life: Born in Paris, grown up in Tel-Aviv, travelling all over the world and cooperating with well known musicians. Eden's vocal abilities remind of the great ladies of Jazz: Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald and Diana Washington and her eclectic repertoire includes songs in English, French, Creole, Hebrew and Portuguese.
Eden's music has a unique style that combines Jazz roots and harmonies with Brazilian influences and African traditional rhythms. Her concerts are melodic, rhythmic, sweeping and soulful. In her tones Eden creates an impressing bridge between cultures.
